JACOB B. YEAGLEY, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

` SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,728, dated September 2'?, 1881,

' Application filed August 17, 1881. (ModeL) v To all whom 'it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JACOB B. YEAGLEY, a citizen of the United Sta-tes, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weather-Proof Sash -Adjusters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,sucl1 as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accom-V of upper sash; and lo this end the invention consists in novel features of construction and to show the locking-wheels.

.respectively detail views in perspective and combination and arrangement of parts, all as will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically designated n the claim.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation ot' the lower sash and window-frame, showing the position of my improved sash-adjuster, and also my improved lock and holder when the sash is closed down, the frame being broken away Figs. 2 and 3 are section of th'c roller-plate and roller constituting my improved sash-adjuster.

In the drawings, A represents the curved rack-bar, and B O the cogged wheels journaled in the lever or key D, and by which they are adapted to be operated. E represents the pivoted lever or key catch, all of which constitute my improved sash lock and `holder above re- The plate F is secured to the side rail of the lower sash, near the top thereof, and is bent as shown in Fig. 2, so that when secured to the sash it forms an inclined plane, over which the roller G moves or plays as the sash is pulled toward the opposite side ot' window-frame it! permits the large wheel B of my improved lock and holder to drop down so as to properly engage the sash, and securing or locking it in position when closed.

The screw carrying the roller Gr should be long enough to allow the roller to play just beyond the vertical sash-head, and resting and revolving near or against it.

My improved sash-adjuster is used only for lower sash, as it will tighten upper sash, as above described, when both sashes are closed.

I do not wish to be understood as claiming, broadly, in thepresent case the part-s constituting my improved sash lock and holder, as they form the subject-matter of a previous application.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

lThe herein-described weather-proofsash-ad ju'ster, composed ot' a roller-plate, F, having inclined plane and oblique side tiange, li, and rollerG, connected to sash and window-frame, respectively, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence ot' two witnesses.

JACOB ,B. YEAGLEY.
